Lease takeover: 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv in Splitlog

Lease takeover: the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is what to know about the 2024 Audi A4 Progressiv before buying one.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 8.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $124 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the A4 makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Practical details

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 340 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. A week with the A4 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
